And fast charging EVs is great! Each and every time you do it, you shorten the life of battery pack and reduce the EV range!

“”And fast charging EVs is great! Each and every time you do it, you shorten the life of battery pack and reduce the EV range!””

I’ve been saying the above for a few years. Finland announced a 15-minute super charging station. They did not bother to mention the damage to battery itself, and, the damage to the longevity of the battery. So many battery manuals state that trickle charging is best. These manuals also recommend not running the batteries down below 20%
AND not charging past 80%. I do not know if the major dealerships inform the EV buyers about this.

Also, much has been mentioned about the soon-to-be burgeoning used EV market. Will the charging history of the EV be available. How many times did the previous owner subject the battery to damaging, fast charging? Hmmmm?
